Sony isn't afraid of losing Call of Duty exclusivity. They aren't even afraid of losing occasional pieces of content to Call of Duty. What they're afraid of is gamers getting better value with Xbox Game Pass. They're afraid of losing the ability to dictate the rules over how gaming operates. Epic Games has shown itself to wield its userbase as a weapon in arguing against taxes like Sony's cross-play fee for developers. Is there a world where Epic Games and Microsoft band together to try and force Sony to remove the walls to cross-play all together? Surely it would only benefit gamers if I don't have to check and double check whether or not I can play online with my friends, regardless of platform. Nintendo doesn't block cross-play, Steam and Xbox don't block cross-play — it's Sony who blocks cross-play, and they do it to make it harder for users to choose anything other than the biggest platform. You know, limiting consumer choice per what regulators are supposed to, erm, regulate.
The hard truth is that the Activision-Blizzard deal is not just good for Xbox. It's quite literally the opposite of what Sony says: it's going to be good for all gamers, and the industry as a whole.
Articulo de Jez Corden en Windows Central donde basicamente dice lo que llevo semanas comentando y algunos me toman por loco, a Sony se la suda CoD de por si, lo que le preocupa es que sea un gran reclamo para GamePass, porque temen ese serrvicio, temen que cambie la industria y perder la capidad de dictar las reglas que llevan años haciendo, entre ellas pues sus juegacos a 80 pavos y tal.
El artiuclo tambien comenta que Sony lleva años usando la tecnica de la "ofuscacion", robando contenido, o juegos completos directamente (algo que cuando MS hizo con RotTR hasta la prensa critico) con el unico fin de tocarle los cojones a los competidores y sus usuarios para que elijan logicamente una Pleiesteichion.
El problema, y esto lo añado yo, es que Satya Nadella y Phil Spencer son amigüitos y se van a gastar 70k millones en tocarte ahora los cojones a ti para imponer SU vision de la industria, con su servicio a la cabeza.
Es un movimiento que de materializarse, a largo plazo va a poner su mundo patas arriba y van a tener que adaptarse o marcarse una Sega.
